Ingredients:	4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts small jar of artichoke hearts Feta cheese a generous measure of dried cranberries sharp cheddar, grated garlic-flavored olive oil
Preparation:	I tried the chicken roll-up thing. Got 4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts and beat them fairly thin and flat. Took one small jar of artichoke hearts and dices them fine. Added about an equal volume of Feta cheese, a generous measure of dried cranberries and enough sharp cheddar grated into the bowl to hold the filing together. Moistened this mass with garlic-flavored olive oil. I laid a generous layer of this mixture on a flattened chicken breast and rolled it up. I put so much of that filling on, I could not get more than about 1.5 actual revolutions. I pinned them with round toothpicks. As it turned out, I used all the filling on those 4 chicken breasts. Baked them at Barbara Monroe's place, the cute redhead that came with me to the Gather and the Cook-off. Before baking, she gave them a good brushing with a dressing of some sort. You get it in little packages and add olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I can get specifics if anyone needs. Baked them in an open casserole dish for about 45 minutes at about 350. That and a green salad, and a dry white wine and a few candles was dinner. They were far better than we had any right to expect. I guess this is Martin's philosophy of cooking: take good ingredients, blend them carefully, don't fuck anything up. The flavors of cranberry, feta cheese and artichoke hearts works very well together. Except for the cranberries, this would also be a good low carb meal.
